What does the hybrid restaurant of today tell us about college of the future? 1 - Employees are expensive, and getting more so. 2 - Colleges, restaurants, and everywhere else are choosing to bring costs in line with revenues by reducing the number of employees. 3 - The result is, and will be, less people to do the work. https://www.insidehighered.com/blogs/technology-and-learning/what-expensive-sf-restaurant-cant-afford-waiters-tells-us-about-future
